Hello Stephanie and Andrew. I hope you solved your mouse problem and found someone to tend for you. My name is Christie Brown and I have a large poultry farm in Sandy. Please save my contact info for future reference. We offer baby chicks, started pullets, nipple-valve waterers for clean...

I am so sorry for your loss. He truly was a pretty baby. I, too, have never seen a polka dotted kid.

I personally like Black Australorps and Gold Comets (Gold Sex Links). Australorps are considered some of the friendliest chickens to have around kids. PLUS, they're rated "Excellent" for egg laying! Gold Comets LOVE to talk to you and follow you around your farm; they're very sociable! I...

Hi Marty, You and I just got some bags of grain yesterday from Margaret on Eagle Mountain. She said you would like to try getting a shipment in. Maybe we can split the 200 bag shipment between us. Two stops in Sandy - maybe they wouldn't charge us the extra $25 charge when I split a load with...

I have had good luck with Silkie, Ameraucana, Silver Laced Wyandotte and Black Australorp roosters. I recommend you hand-raise your baby cockerels and hold them A LOT! But even still, once hormones take over inside the rooster, he can still turn on people. ALWAYS BE CAREFUL, even with your...

If she is sneezing, I would pick her up, check her for nasal discharge. She may have a URI (upper respiratory infection). These are VERY, VERY common in chickens, because they drink dirty water fouled by their own feces. I would go to your local feed store, and purchase a $5 bag of Duramycin...

I have successfully hatched dozens of eggs in paper and plastic egg cartons in my older GQF 1202. I prefer the plastic because they are washable. Since Silkie eggs are so tiny, the bigger the egg carton, the more easily the eggs can be turned on their sides. My screens are so old and bowed...

Yes, that's sounds like a good plan. When my Silkies go broody, they usually allow me to move them, eggs and all, to a new place "I choose", away from the regular layers. Keeping food and fresh (non-frozen) water conveniently near them allows her eggs to not get too cold when she leaves them...

Yes, their meat is edible and even still fry-able at 5-6 months, just fine, just not a lot! After that, just put them in the crock pot and stew them down until the meat falls off the bones. I use shredded chicken meat in Tacos, Enchiladas, Chicken and Rice, and Pulled Chicken with Barbeque Sauce...

cutlersupply.com has them farmtec.com has them Both of these places have the least expensive prices. There there is gqf manufacturing themselves. Straight from the source!

Are you sure she is not a Bantam Easter Egger? Their eggs would be small. Has she just started laying within the last two months? If so, her eggs are called maiden pullet eggs and will soon get bigger and should start having yolks.
